the Evolutionaries are a musical group that prefer a mixture of electronic and acoustic music. Their latest release, The Last World (2014), is rock, metal, industrial, punk, and noise joined together in a gritty foray into rock 'n roll from a worm hole --- It is the sound of outer space garage rock played upon a lonely asteroid.
the Evolutionaries became "internet famous" in 2006 when their song Slave was included on the sound track of Dead Rising - an xbox 360 game in which one slays as many zombies as possible. As a result of that inclusion they have continued to enjoy steady plays on You Tube and across the web.
Similar sounding, well-known artists include Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, Mindless Self Indulgence, Error, and White Zombie.

The Garden
The Evolutionaries Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's got me by the roots
Its thorns cause the bleeding
Its poison hides the truth
I'm lost in the darkness
If I even ever knew my way
I think it's got me now
I think it's got me now
I serve in this garden of pain
All I crave is an ending
Release without remorse
My heart keeps pumping venom
With its deadly force
I'm blind in the garden
Sightless in the trees
I lost my soul to this
Sickness without disease
I'm lost in the darkness
If I even ever knew my way
I think it's got me now
I serve in this garden of pain
I'm lost in the darkness
If I even ever knew my way
I think it's got me now
I serve in this garden of pain
I'm lost in the darkness
If I even ever knew my way
I think it's got me now
I serve in this garden of pain
I'm lost in the darkness
If I even ever knew my way
I think it's got me now
I serve in this garden of pain
I'm lost in the darkness
If I even ever knew my way
I think it's got me now
I serve in this garden of pain
The lyrics of The Evolutionaries' song "The Garden" convey a feeling of being trapped in a dark and painful place. The garden that surrounds the singer is suffocating, with thorns that cause bleeding and poison that hides the truth. The singer is lost, having forgotten how to navigate their way through the darkness and serving in this "garden of pain." The theme of being trapped in a garden also suggests the idea of being stuck in one's own mind, perhaps a place of negative emotions or self-doubt. The singer's heart is pumping venom, representing the idea of being consumed by these negative emotions.
The repetition of "I'm lost in the darkness" throughout the lyrics emphasizes the feeling of being trapped and alone. The singer craves an ending and release from this pain, but it seems that they are unable to escape. The sickness without disease suggests a mental illness, as the pain is not something physical that can be treated with medication. The garden serves as a metaphor for the singer's suffering, with the pain surrounding them and weighing them down. Ultimately, the lyrics suggest that the singer is stuck in this place and is serving their time in this garden of pain, unable to escape and find a way out.
